I took yesterday off from work because I just needed to have some time to relax with Rachel. She got a chance to work on her new hobbies around the apartment, and I got to watch a lot of anime that I hadn't had a chance to catch up on thanks to some free time and my AppleTV. For fans of vampire movies, I recommend the series Trinity Blood. It's about four humans who are genetically and cybernetically enhanced with nanotechnology until they are seriously advanced vampiric beings called Cruzniks. 1,000 years after the UN and the Martian colonists fight a war that brings down world civilization on Earth, the Earth is divided between the territories of the Roman Catholic Church and the vampire's empire. The Cruzniks are divided basically between these two sides. Anyway, great story IMO. Also, I got a MacBook Pro from the Apple Store using an education discount. Saved ten percent that way. Amazing laptop, far superior to anything I've used among PC products lately, and I am glad to be a Mac user again (three out of four of my laptops over the last nearly nine years have been Macs).
The only thing that has sucked has been my XBox 360 took a dirt nap tonight at a friend's house as we got ready to play Halo 3 multiplayer. It's the second XBox 360 of mine to do that after plugging it into his wall sockets, and he just lost a 360 of his own today, so I think if I bring over a 360 again, I'll have to bring an UPS to protect my XBox... ;)
Lastly, I just want to say that I consider myself a lucky man. Most wives would not have been as calm and understanding as Rachel was when it came to me wanting to buy a new laptop (and an expensive one at that). We basically agreed that if I keep my Honda for at least 150,000 miles that it would be no big deal as far as me having to account for the money in our budget for us saving up to eventually start a family. What a wife!
